Sample Answer One

I live in the west of my city, the place where most of the middle class people reside. There are several good things about my society, from good roads, to nice neighborhood and then there is this beautiful view that we have. But, the one thing that sometimes gets very annoying is that there are very few street lights in the area. So, although, it is not complete darkness, it is very close to that only. And in times when it rains heavily driving on that road becomes really scary.

I want to bring in more street lights for the locality. My friend works in PDW i.e. Public Development Works, the department handling such issues. So, I have talked with her and she told that this has been a concern for the department as well and very soon they will solve the issue.

I think once we have got street lights, it will be much more safer to travel in that area. There are situations when it gets too late and for a female that gets even more frightening. No matter you are in car or a two-wheeler the chances of a crime happening and it is not only we who are victims. Often in the dim light, one is not able to see any street animal, who get killed in the run.

Changing this situation has been a great event for me. I got to know that the system is not too bad and that we also can make changes in our lives and sometimes in others as well.

Sample Answer Two

I live in a Ho Chi Minh City. My father is a businessman. The locality that we are staying is quite good. We have got park and then security guards, proper lights and almost every amenity that one can think of. However, there is one thing that often bugs me and it is the absence of society. Most of the people in our locality live so busy lives that they never get to gel with each other.

We as youngsters of our society felt the need of a more better belonging because there were times when even festivals would go out dry. So, we started meeting in parks with lot of tantrums and we would invite even the kids of our locality. We used to have parties where everyone started talking with each other and the best part was the parties were game based. So, we would play badminton, or football or sometimes held on debates on stuff.

With the news reaching to the elders, they started joining us whenever they had free time and with that people actually started to get to know each other. We realized that we have some of the greatest talents of our country and it was truly amazing.
